Maybe I am misunderstand the point the artist is trying to make but this is such a harsh generalization. I have traveled extensively – the rule in our family was gaining the best understanding we could of the culture we were visiting…with respect always. I always avoid ‘tourist central’ wherever I go and never have I been on a package tour – too restrictive and lets face it – not ‘real’! I have met many tourists and I know for a fact I’m not the only one who approaches travel this way!
